Union, Progress, and Democracy

Union, Progress, and Democracy (UPyD) is a social liberal political party in Spain, founded in 2007. The party was founded as a radical centrist party that rejected any peripheral nationalism (especially from the Basque Country and Catalonia), and it sought to create a centralized (but federal) government that was still ruled by a monarch. The party's core was in the Basque Country, and it had its roots in anti-ETA civic associations. The party was a minor party, and it had around only 1,500 members in 2017.
